THE CARDINAL CLIMBER 



A Splendid New Climber 



The vine quickly reaches a height of 30 ft. or 

 more. The blossoms are about 1H inches in diam- 

 eter, in clusters of 5 to 7 blooms each, and as the 

 name indicates are of a rich cardinal red. It likes 

 sun and good soil. If started in the open, do 

 not sow until settled warm weather, as the seed 

 will rot in cold wet ground. File each seed, or 

 slightly cut through the outer covering, soak in 

 luke-warm water over night, and sow in a warm 

 place. Pkt., 10 seeds, 8c; 2 pkts., 14c. 



CALENDULA or POT MARIGOLD 



Fine annuals for cutting. They bloom early 

 and long, especially in the cool fall days after %Z, 

 most annuals have gone to seed. The place of 

 short-lived plants may be filled by scattering 

 seeds of Calendulas in May or June. They 

 come in every shade of yellow or deep golden, 

 double and semi-double. Mixed. Pkt., 100 

 seeds, 5c; % oz., 12c. 



CALCEOLARIA GRANDIFLORA 



These are gorgeous plants for the greenhouse 

 or window, remarkable for their orchid-like 

 blossoms. They come into flower eight months 

 after sowing, bearing hundreds of curious pock- 

 et-like flowers, spotted and blotched and mar- 

 gined in a most unique fashion, in such shades as 

 yellow, maroon, crimson, white, etc. Green- 

 house biennials. Pkt., 125 seeds, 10c; 2 pkts., 

 16c. 



20 New York City. — "The Calendulas from your 



seed were beautiful and much admired."

COIX LACHRYMAE 



(Job's Tears) 



Plants with corn-like leaves, suitable for the Per- 

 ennial Border, but quite as often grown for the hard, 

 shiny seeds so largely used in basket and raffia work, 

 or for portieres or necklaces. The teething baby 

 especially will much appreciate one of these hard 

 necklaces. For sowing, file the seeds and sow in a 

 warm place. 2 to 3 feet.
